Howitzers spiked.

Fort Kearney, May 13.

--Capt. Tyler, of the Second Dragoons, commanding at this post, fearing that a rich might take and turn against the garrison the ten twelve-pounder howitzers in his possession, spiked them on the evening of the 10th. He had received orders to remove the pieces to Fort Leavenworth, out thought it unsafe to do so in the distracted state of the country. Threats had been made to take them from him.
